Somehow it got reported that we got shutdown because of E.J Hradek, or because of that mentally challenged kid we accidentally made fun of.

We don't know much, but after almost three years of jobbing we know we ain't getting shutdown because of libel or slander.

We have never committed either here, look it up, Jack.
Point Park Media Ethics class ain't no joke.

It turns out Blogger thought we were a spamblog or something.
Whatev.

One reason we should get shutdown?
Because we didn't post this Janne Pesonen song:

Kolzig was in net.
The game was in Mellon Arena.
It was overtime.
You didn't need to know anymore.

Crosby brings the puck from behind the net.
No one knows what Kolzig is doing.

Gonch, demoralized all night, rises from the ashes.

Game.

"Pittsburgh has a great team, great people, great organization. I had to compare the two teams, and there's a little better chance to win the Cup in Detroit. I had a great time with Sid and playing on the power play with Geno [Evgeni Malkin], but the team in Detroit is something special. I know it's a short term, but we never talked about a one-year [deal] with Pittsburgh. We just talked about a long-term deal. I totally believe Detroit has the kind of team that can win it again."

I don't know if a better use for Kenny Loggins has ever been imagined. It makes me wonder why they don't use helmet cams more often in the NHL, although it would never be as boss as the fisheye-inside-the-goal cam.

The Caps OT thriller was awesome, especially with Sarge bringing it home. Pissy Caps fans (and I think I'm the only Caps fan who isn't pissy...) were just demoralized after that given how much they like to rail Gonchar because he sold out to the Pens. Please don't bring up the facts about the team in between. Nothing was worse for those Rocking the Red last year than Backstrom's own goal though. Suicide elmo for realz.

I'm in KC,MO again. Arthur Bryants is all this city has to offer. Sprint Center still stands silent.

At one point in the past, Caps season ticket holders got a free jersey too. That was one of their selling points, the list of "free gifts" that season ticket holders have gotten in the past.

I think my big advantage in having a partial package is being able to buy additional single-game tickets before they go on sale to the general public and at face value (no convenience charges). That'll come in really handy for the Pens games in February and March.

I'll get this out of the way right now: I was the one who ran with The Hradek Theory. C'mon, it did make sense. Eh, on second thought, maybe not. But when you're looking for any and all possibilities for TPB to be shut down....screw it, let's turn the page (not comment #201, but I mean literally. We're past it. Let's move on...)

The only way The Pesonen Song could get better is that if it's the song we hear after his first goal. It will happen.

Kolzig still sucks. Good luck with him, TB. With the 106 forwards you signed this offseason and no commitment to D, he's gonna need it. He's gonna see more rubber than the some of the "ladies" on Liberty Avenue did in the 80s.

Got an email out of nowhere from the place that I bought my "official" Polamalu 3rd jersey last year. Hopefully I may be coming into a 07 Malkin All Star jersey on the cheap. Saw pics of it and everything appears to be the right font, stitched, and in the authentic sizes. I'll update as needed.

Al Gore was just getting pissed off that he sucks real bad. He senselessly lashed out.

Primanti's blog: I would totally be there if it wasn't in Robinson. In my eyes there is only one Primanti's and that's in the Strip. The only reason I say that is because I've been to them all and none really come close.

The only bad thing about Primanti's I found out by talking to the owner. Every location is individually run. The way they make their food can be totally different from one to the other. The one in Oakland is the worst...

Honestly I might be there just to "meat" some people but it is all the way in Robinson and my friends and I have scheduled NHL 08 & Beerfest v2.0. Which is possibly the greatest thing ever. That game gets real hard real quick.

I have a funny story about him. A few weeks ago I went to a Jazz club in Bridgeville with my Grandpa to see Roger Humphreys play. I was sitting there eating an overpriced cajun burger when I see Paul Stiegerwald walk by. He was with some smoking blond that was about 20 years younger than him, so I decided to leave him alone. After the band's first set, Roger Humphreys stands up and announces "theres someone famous in the house tonight". Steigy gets this big grin on his face and begins standing up, but then Roger points to Louis Gosset Jr. (Ive never heard of him either, but he's this huge guy who apparently played in Ffficer and a Gentlemen). They were filming a new movie at the Meadows so he and some of his co-stars came to this jazz club after the shoot.

I really wish I had my camera with me because the Stiegy = Stunned picture would have been incredible. His face seriously looked like someone just kicked him in the nuts.

So Stiegy immediately heads back to the bar and sits in the corner, so I went over and shook his hand. When I asked him if he was excited about the season and if he and the Bibster got to go to the Czech Republic before the season he looked like he didn't want to kill himself anymore.

Anyway, theres a little Pens-related summer story for you guys in this time of hockey depravity.

i was walking around at a Borders yesterday (not sure why since i cant read) and saw a kid in a wings cup tshirt which enraged me. but a minute later i saw some dude in an old school pirates hat to calm me down.

best and worst of all worlds around here.

its the weekend. thedirty.com

have fun at primantiblog. and its def not about the food, cause the food is just okay.

Primanti's is the greatest thing ever food wise when you get it from the good one. I'm not looking to re-hatch this argument but it really depends on location. I do agree though if it's in Robinson it can't be about the food.

fandangler I need to call with a number, so if you end up coming you might not have a seat. I'm going to add a couple more seats, but I can't promise anything. And if the only reason you're not coming is because it's not the one in the Strip, that's pretty lame. Like sh0ez said, it's not all about the food, it's about being with fellow c-bloggers.

Ahh I know... it's not just because of the food. I said it before the only reason I'd really go is to meet and greet. It's mainly because it's in Robinson. I have plans tonight and that's like an over 40 minute drive for me. If the dominoes fall the right way today I'll be there. I'd just feel bad if I said I was coming and couldn't make it. I'm getting a lot of third degree...lol... Yikes.

@annie - good link. I just watched some of that game...I was sooooo sick with some weird flu thing that night, but stayed up and watched the whole game anyway...it feels nice to watch it healthy...it was an incredible game...I think, perhaps, I'll watch it again tomorrow. :)

Less than 90 comments and almost midnight = epic cblog fail. Only a few of us were at Primanti's! What happened to Canaan and Laynie? It was a good time. Good food (I ate a ton), and good pool. My team won every game! Ruled.

Yeah Ali, I just remember when Max scored, I kept screaming at the tope of my lungs "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" And Sykie's goal later on, with Bugsy and Gonch on the ice with him couldn't have been more perfect. It just makes me sad watching it because a lot of those guys aren't coming back next year.

@ stoosh: HA HA HA HA HA! I need to take a picture of that and tag everyone on it! I'll make Rob the head! Ha ha ha. We left at like what, 10? I got to her house at 11. That's actually 15 minutes longer than it took to get there. It's usually a 45 minute trip.
